THIS is why you show up early -- SUPER FUN day at Rogers Centre

This was my 27th MLB stadium of the season, and yes, I caught lots of baseballs. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was going for his 100th career home run. Bo Bichette got the ultimate revenge. I peeked inside the Rogers Centre hotel. Got to see the roof of the dome opening. Received a funny gift from a friend. Hung out with a bunch of friends including a baseball coach that I hadn't seen for 29 years! It was just a really solid day all around.

This game in Toronto took place on September 12, 2022, and the video was filmed and edited by Rachel Messbauer. Thanks for watching!

[@Timetoburn74]

Can't wait to watch this episode on way home! I was playing MLB The Show last night. My career player hit his 300th HR. I got to thinking.....it would be cool to see a clip of you catching that home run! They need to put you in the video game for milestone homers.

[@zackhample]

That would be epic.

[@andyprieto1846]

No.

[@jordanwoollard4747]

Dude, I was literally at the doubleheader the next day😂. Just missed you by a day. Glad you got to see the Roger's Centre Zack. Hopefully you come back next season when the Renovations are complete. It'll be much easier to catch balls than it is now.

[@jack_leafs5121]

Zack not sure if you heard but they are doing massive outfield renovations this offseason at Rogers Centre! Completely eliminating the outfield gap and improving fan access to the bullpens!

[@Dimeplays0]

Let’s go blue Jays! Thanks for coming to the Rogers Centre. Been waiting for you to come to Canada 🇨🇦

The wave at 15:34 has me dying, timing was spot on and it was the least effort wave 🤣

[@zackhample]

Haha

[@SoberCatMan]

This stadium is definitely tricky to catch homerun balls. In 2002, Bret Boone of the Mariners launched one in my direction. I was so pumped to catch my first homerun ball. That stupid .200 deck took it away. Poorly designed outfield seating. If anyone hasn't been to this stadium, and is interested in going. Don't sit in the outfield seats.. claustrophobic feeling.

[@zackhample]

Ouch.

[@bradyvandale8]

New renovations gonna make the outfield actually nice

[@trich-1041]

I mean judges 61st homerun is an example of that

[@fredsystra7584]

They are redesigning them for next year!!!

Good to have you back bro. Come back next season once the renovations are done.

[@pianosbloxworld4460]

Yes! Zack Hample finally in my hometown! Your videos are awesome! Also, I’m really glad they’re renovating the SkyDome (it’s real name) and was wondering about your opinion on it. Glad to see you enjoyed it here, Zack!

[@zackhample]

Thanks! I think the renovations will be a huge improvement and I'm looking forward to coming back and seeing them in person.

Okay so a few things about this video: 1) I was one of the guys that kept razzing you about your outdated Jays hat and even offered to buy one and send it to you, so glad your updated...lol. 2) That food looked amazing. Being Canadian, I love poutine, but it can hit or miss, and that was some of the best looking poutine I've seen. I loooooove jerk chicken and love nachos..jerk chicken nachos...sounds and looked amazing!

[@michaelmorada170]

With the new outfield construction next season it will be more home run friendly for fans to catch more baseballs.

[@duffyy1]

Can’t wait for you to comeback after the redo. I think you’ll like it.

I’ve never been to the Rogers Center and want to go even with home runs being tough. I like the challenge of different places similar to city field in queens.

[@djprotege]

They're doing some huge Renos in the offseason. Search for video preview as it looks awesome. Supposed to make rogers centre viable for baseball for the next 15 years .

[@rudefasagaming]

Love the Role Model gift. Glad to see you're taking all the hate in stride.

[@cjs121675]

I always liked the Toronto Blue Jays and have always wanted to go to a game in Toronto- even had a cap I got in Canada in 1989 in Windsor that got stolen not long after I got it- I have always liked Canada and people there are friendly I have noticed over the years too! Rogers Centre is on my bucket of stadiums to add to my list in the future as well- nice to see that you got to add Toronto on the list this year- really have been enjoying your trips and your videos this year!

Thanks! Glad you're still with me this late into the season.

Gotta give up it to jays fans. They are really nice. I went to the Mariners game back in July when they played the jays. I was sitting on the 3rd base side which the visitors dugout. There was a little girl whose bout 6 (she was a jays fan by the way), i happen to get a foul ball and i gave it to her. Her mom was quite surprised and i made a little fan's day. Her mom was super nice and she was quit happy and she say that was the nicest thing that happened that day

Nice, your total is a palindrome! I've been waiting to see your Skydome video.

I wish I knew that was when you were coming to town, I would have bought tickets! Also funny how you talk about the space between the fans and the wall, because that's exactly where Aaron Judge's 61st home run ended up... in the Jays Bullpen!

That is surprising regarding Yankee Stadium. Too many rules kills the fun. Why no drawstrings in Fenway? “Security”?

[@jdzeeb]

@@LeonardStauffer yeah even though i've known fenway security to be somewhat relaxed

[@LeonardStauffer]

“Security” my ass. I bet they allow purses tho. If they can search and assure a purse is safe they can do the same with a backpack. Again, more rules less fun. I think I recall as a kid you were once able to bring a small cooler with you. Pack your own lunch, etc. I also think fans were once able to bring their own beers! There was a limit. I think so but don’t quote me. Now you have to buy a water bottle or soda for $7 and they keep the cap. 🙄 No beer after the 7th. No beer during extra innings.. Easier to just stay home.

Beers are like $11 now? Never been to Fenway. This was my opinion based on lifetime Yankee Stadium & Shea Stadium / CitiField experiences.
